PARENTS: The identification of RIN-009 as the daughter of RIN-416 and -417 is provisional, based on EDG013 and EDG014. Sarah was the name of RIN-417, and Eliza was the sister of RIN-417. Tilton was the family name of RIN-416. The delay between the marriage of RIN-416 and -417 and the birth of RIN-009 is 13 years, but that is not unusual: Family 115 had children spread over 36 years!
